"I will convey your intention to Mr. Liu to George."
Liu Zheng nodded slightly and drank a cup of tea.
Green, who learned about Long Yan's attitude, hurriedly passed the news to George.
He also said goodbye to Liu Zheng.
Ling Chen looked at Liu Zheng in confusion: "Sir, even if we don't cooperate with George, those British troops will still be vulnerable."
"We can completely occupy this territory on our own. At that time, all the resources in America will be ours."
Ling Chen said boldly.
The current influence of Long Yan's power has radiated across the Asian plate.
For them, Europe is just a small, wealthy country and has nothing to fear.
Although Africa is rich, it has experienced too many plunders by colonists and is too chaotic!
Only on the continent of America is a newly discovered world.
There are many resources above, and the colonial rule of other countries in the Americas has already been built in this area.
If Long Yan enters the scene now and takes control of America.
Then Long Yan's power will further expand.
"No, America is a burden to us if we occupy it."
Liu Zheng glanced at Ling Chen in confusion and said directly: "The situation in America is too complicated. Expanding the territory is not necessary for us, Long Yan."
"We just need the resources of the Americas and that's enough."
"Historically, that large-scale battle was not a dispute over resources. Rather than having disputes in the future, it is better to seize the resources here now."
"It's not on our territory. What if they regret it?"
Liu Zheng sneered: "Their economy depends on us, Long Yan, and their construction requires the participation of our Long Yan factory."
"If they dare to tear up the treaty, our Dragon Flame Army is not fake."
"Besides, Longyan's merchants are here to do business. As long as we don't bully the weak, this kind of thing can always be dealt with."
Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded.
He understood what Liu Zheng meant.
Letting Long Yan control the resources of America through economic means is much better than war and plunder.
War plunders land and resources, and also arouses opposition from local residents.
Mr. Liu Zheng's approach is to achieve a win-win situation.
"Sir, I understand."
Ling Chen stood up slowly and prepared to leave. When he left, he already knew exactly what he was going to do next.
But in the end, Liu Zheng still gave a warning.
"End this war and let George know the price he will pay is not a bad thing."
"yes……"
…
At this time, Preston was in the city.
On the battlefield, George got a call back from Green.
Long Yan is willing to cooperate with their actions, but there is a price to pay...
George was both happy and sad.
He didn't know what choice he should make.
Any resource is extremely valuable, even a fishing ground!
But George also knew that if he disagreed, Long Yan might withdraw his troops, and the battlefield would collapse instantly at that time.
Only by virtue of their strength and the aid of France.
There was no way they could win this war, and he knew very well what consequences awaited him.
George sighed helplessly.
I decided to agree first and wait until the British army was defeated before thinking of a solution.
At this time, the British troops commanded by General William launched operations.
He made adjustments to his plan as Long Yanjun joined the battlefield.
Now that Philadelphia has fallen, the Continental Rebel Army has suffered heavy casualties, but its foundation has not been damaged. They still have the strength to fight.
The top priority now is to destroy the effective strength of the Continental Congress Army as soon as possible.
Completely capture New York City.
So William Jiangjuan mobilized British troops and launched a general attack on Preston.
Preston is the last important city on the border of New York City. As long as they capture the city of Charlie, they can complete the siege of Virginia. They can achieve greater victory on the battlefield!
New York has fallen, and the northern battlefield will completely fall under British control!
But the battle plan that George made was to deal with Philadelphia first.
After all, it was the capital of the Continental Congress and the heart of America.
The most important place in America!
And now Saratoga Bay, the maritime supply line, is now under the control of Longyan Army again.
Philadelphia has been decided to resupply, so those Philadelphias shouldn’t be too difficult!
After defeating Philadelphia, counterattack New York.
Both sides had their own war plans. After George conveyed the order, his troops attacked Philadelphia.
Less than a day later, there was a sudden explosion in the sky.
The fortress at Preston was attacked by British troops!
After hearing this, George became nervous instantly!
All their main forces were transferred by him to attack Philadelphia. Now, apart from the garrison garrison, Preston didn't have many people at all.
The city would be at risk of being sieged.
But the order to send out immediately to fight was bound to drag the British troops until Philadelphia was captured.
And in Philadelphia at this time.
General William's transfer order had no effect on old Pitt at all.
He was not under General William's jurisdiction.
After experiencing the defeat on the Virginia battlefield, he had no intention of giving up the battle.
Even facing the current war weapons of the Longyan Army, Old Pete still felt that his troops could definitely fight against them!
Therefore, even though he knew that the offensive target of the Continental Congress army was in Philadelphia, Old Pete was still sitting in Philadelphia!
And all the 50,000 troops under his command were mobilized to challenge the Long Yan Army to fight to the death!
…
At this time, the Continental Army's closest troops to Philadelphia were those led by Vino.
He looked at Philadelphia shrouded in clouds in the distance and felt his heart aching!
This withdrawal was regarded by him as a lifelong shame!
Victory and defeat are commonplace for a soldier, but desertion is like a scar that will forever be imprinted on his heart and cannot be healed.
The oath he swore in Philadelphia was to defend the city, but he broke his promise.
Britain fought too quickly, and this was the main reason for their defeat.
But this reason cannot be the reason for his withdrawal. That is their capital of America.
He should have fought to the last man.
"General, we can still go back, right?"
Vino's guard asked.
He looked at this soldier. He was very young. Like most soldiers here who join the battlefield, his dream is to gain independence.
But he is a very rare black man in the army.
Vino said in a deep voice: "Yes, we can go back, as a winner, I swear here!"
"Then can we be free? No more freedom from bondage!"
Vino looked at the black guard and was silent for a while.
"You can." That was his only answer.
